Fuzzy… blurry.. Dizzy.. That’s the point I’m at post-Christmas/New year I say!

It’s a whirl wind of treasure, giving, food AND good wishes.. & ok, what about those New Years Resolutions?! Hmmm??!! I have to say, not something I’m all to keen on. To me it’s like paying a 24mth contract on a gym membership & using a month of it! I prefer instead to reflect – from where I’ve been & what I’ve done, I can set in motion simple ideas as to how & where I’d like to head next..

Then, it’s full steam ahead.. toot toot..

simple statements meant so much

Looking through ‘vintage coloured glasses’, as I do, I’m turning to gorgeous old ephemera to led me on inspiration for the start of 2014!
These treasures, most written so very long ago, speak of love, friendship & good will. They speak of joy & a positive outlook to what may lie ahead. When I look at some of the dates I think about the times in which they were written. A number in my collection were written about & during the First World War.

Glad tidings.. to think & reflect.

The stories, sighhh, I can only imagine. The journeys, laughter & sadness.. The beauty of a rose. I think I can learn a lot from these endearing, old pieces of history, taking me forward.

...said with a Rose!

Though the dates may be different, the styles, the social etiquettes, some things are NO different.. The desire for peace, to be loved, to enjoy friendship.. To be human.
